It took Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu two months to satisfy his government. Two months, during which he bore and gave on every tag and detail and on the strict wording of the coalition agreements. His partners also knew, a considerable time in advance, which files they would hold. So did some of the Likud ministers. Apparently, this is a recipe A winner for setting out, for formulating an agenda, for the careful formulation of a policy of a full-on right-wing government.
However, in light of the conduct of the government ministers, and their statements, one gets the impression that they were not told that the elections were over, that they could relax and devote themselves to their duties.

Instead, they continue to fight with their predecessors.
Netanyahu said at the cabinet meeting that "contrary to popular opinion, the dangerous nuclear agreement has not been scrapped."
This is said by someone during whose time that dangerous agreement was signed, and that the outgoing government managed to delay the signing and perhaps even prevent it.
Baseless ideas
And not just Netanyahu.
The other ministers are also throwing baseless foolish ideas into the air.
Each minister tries to be more aggressive than his friend in his statements towards their predecessors in office, as if they were still in the campaign.
It seems that the only thing that guides them is to despise and erase everything that was done until they arrived.
It is evident that Netanyahu does not control his flesh.
In the past, a glance was enough for them to align.
And now the foreign minister, Eli Cohen, is sticking a finger in the US's eye with a statement, from which it can be understood that Israel is moving to a pro-Russian policy. In the delicate seam of this unnecessary war, it is not clear why anyone who is this close ended up in an office where diplomacy is a language that you have to know how to speak , declares that he will speak with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov.

And what caused the Minister of Education, Yoav Kish, to behave in a contemptuous manner, while speaking disparagingly and belittlingly, to the outgoing Minister of Education, Dr. Yifat Shasha Biton? What does this contribute and why is it beneficial? What educational message does this convey?
And the Minister of Transportation, more than once her voice outweighs the scope of her actions, tries to erase the actions of her predecessor, not because she has to, but because she can and may not have noticed that the elections are over.
Need permission
The highlight is the decision of the Minister of Police, Itamar Ben Gabir, to go up to the Temple Mount.
Ben Gvir, who makes considerable efforts to distance himself from his past as a bratty hillbilly boy, would not go up to the Temple Mount without permission from Netanyahu, who understands the destructive significance of the act.
Ben Gvir came up, and we all receive condemnations from all over the globe.
The US ambassador to Israel, Thomas Neides, expressed his displeasure not in diplomatic language, but in the language of the landlord, when he said: "We were clear.
This is unacceptable." By the way, a considerable price was paid by Netanyahu himself, when his trip to the Emirates next week was simply canceled. Poof is gone. And for the umpteenth time in the last two weeks, he had to issue a clarification and say: "Prime Minister Netanyahu is obligated to strictly maintain the status quo unchanged on the Temple Mount".
And he added that in the past ministers went up to the Temple Mount, including the former interior minister, Gilad Erdan, as if he did not understand the difference between the one who hung the picture of Baruch Goldstein in his house and came to the memorial for Meir Kahana, and Erdan.
In the last place I would be offended.
